Our mission has always been to build elementary age kids up in positive ways and enrich their lives with an appreciation for music and learning. The MMF! Summer Stars Online Music Festival is yet another resource that we have developed to serve these young musicians. The following solo divisions will allow our adjudicators to easily assess student progress, while also allowing students to find inspiration when comparing their skills to other young musicians within their division.

Interested in participating? Begin by printing a MMF! Summer Stars 2014 Festival Registration Packet. Please take the time to review and complete each step. Incomplete information may result in the disqualification of the student.

Student video performances will be adjudicated by one or more professional music teachers. Helpful tips will be offered for improving each students performance, along with a heapin' helpin' of praise for the things they are doing well.

Using a 100 point system, each performance will be evaluated with the following criteria:

All participating students will be included in the MMF! Summer Stars Music Festival Showcase, and will recieve an award certificate. The award certificate and completed adjudication form will be mailed at the conclusion of the festival. Shining Stars will recieve a trophy and a $25 Visa gift card.

Adjudicators will select three (3) students from each solo division to be named "Shining Stars". Each student selected as a "Shining Star" will be highlighted in the MMF! Summer Stars Music Festival Showcase, recieve a "Shining Stars" Music Award Certificate, and recieve a $25 Visa gift card.

Results will be announced in the August 2014 MMF! Newsletter. Prizes will be shipped within two weeks of the end of the festival on August 1st, 2014.
